Article Abstract
The Heracleum sosnowskyi is a highly invasive plant species known for its rapid spread and the significant threat it poses to the ecosystem and human health, primarily due to its furanocoumarin content. In the present study, for the first time the pyrolysis process (200-600 °C) of Heracleum was conducted, demonstrating its efficacy in utilizing the material as feedstock and generating valuable solid by-products. It was found that biochar produced at temperatures of 200-300 °C is suitable for solid fuel production (HHV 20.2-24.1 MJ·kg) and has strong hydrophobic properties, while pyrolysis over 400 °C promotes the improvement of fertilizing properties by increasing the content of micro and macronutrients (K=112.4 g·kg at 600 °C). The mass and energy analysis proved that in specific conditions (for dry > 300 °C; for wet > 400 °C), pyrolysis can be an effective way for Heracleum biomass conversion into valuable biochar without the need for external energy.

Background: Species of the Apiaceae family produce furanocoumarins-photosensitizing substances widely used in pharmacology. Among them, certain species of the genus Heracleum, commonly known as "giant hogweeds", are particularly renowned for their photosensitizing properties. While the metabolic composition of these plants has been studied extensively, their genomics remains largely unexplored, as does the biosynthesis of furanocoumarins within the genus.

This study aims to investigate the endogenous gibberellin levels and related genes analysis of noxious invasive weed . Genome-wide identification, phylogenetic analysis, conserved motif analysis, and gene structure characterization of GA-oxidases were performed. We analysed endogenous GAs levels and the expression of target in response to GA within developing ovaries.

Sosnowsky's hogweed ( Manden) is one of the most dangerous invasive plant, notorious with presence of toxic substances. At the same time phytochemistry from perspective of applications in pharmacology, especially lipids have not been much studied. This study aims to analyse lipids of , especially fatty acids, their composition, metabolism patterns and biological activity.

The wide occurrence and expansive nature of invasive plant species are worldwide problems because these plants by their competitive character can lead to the loss of biodiversity. As a result, they significantly disrupt ecosystems, create economic damage and threats to human health, and diminish the quality of recreational resources. Therefore, sustainable, bio-based solutions are needed for their control, focusing on the utilization of their biomass after eradication.
